DECEMEBER RECOGNITION

Amazing way to celebrate 2014! Congrats on all your success!

You came. You styled. You kicked some serious....

Can you believe it? I mean seriously....2014 was an amazing year of growth, style, celebrations promotions and more. And if you think it was awesome....you ain't seen NOTHING yet. 2015 will be EPIC.

Write your story today. Dream Big. Work Hard. LIVE the life you want and LIVE the story YOU write. It is possible. You just have to believe and achieve.

When I reflect on 2014 I am so proud of so many things. I think about all the promotions and sales. All the "little" achievements - getting out of comfort zones, taking risks that resulted in big wins. All the laughter and smiles....we really know how to have fun. All the dreams that became a reality. All the excitement of Hoopla and all the excitement post Hoopla as you worked for your goals.

And then it happened....all the big promotions that happened this fall. RECORD BREAKING. And because of your hard work - we became a Star Director Team!

But What I'm Most Proud Of....

But what I'm most proud of is the caliber of your character. You are inspiring, thoughtful, positive, caring, empathetic, sincere, kind and JOYFUL. You live a beautiful life and it's not just the jewelry that makes you sparkle....it's your character that shines the brightest.

At Directors Conference OUR TEAM was featured in Mike Lohner's Keynote Address. He was so moved and inspired by our Christmas "Adopt A Family" he made it part of his keynote. The keynote was about how we are all Super Hero's .... how we change lives and do amazing things (he has a grandson who loves Spiderman....and he incorporated personal stories, characters, etc...it was so cute).

He used favorite quotes from movies to talk about Hero's....and when he got to this quote he was reminded of YOU - Team Ruby Reds...

"With great power comes great responsibility".

And boy did we live up to that!

Together We Can Change The World

Mike talked about how we came together as a team to do something amazing for a family in need. Not only did we bring them gifts an food....we brought them JOY. Imagine how they felt on Christmas morning opening up gifts under a tree. Yes, we even bought them a Christmas tree. NONE of that would have been possible without YOU. And a special shout-out to Kim Valdivia, Ruby Red Star Stylist for all of her time and helping coordinate the project.

It was the coming together - what we could do TOGETHER - that made this so powerful.

It make US - Team Ruby Reds Super Heros. Red Shoes. Red Cape. And a GIANT Red Heart of LOVE & JOY.

We adopted Antionette and her family. I'm sure you remember their story...

"Antoinette is a 23 year old young lady who has been working hard at doing all the right things. She wanted to break the cycle that she grew up in….not getting pregnant and rising above the struggle of poverty. Antoinette has worked hard at school and keeping up at her job.

However, when her mom died of cancer a few years ago she was left to be guardian of her teenage siblings when she was just 20 years old. Her siblings are Lamar, 18 (was 15) who lives out of the home; Libby,16(was 13) and Destiny ,15 (who was 12) Shortly after she took guardianship of her siblings her niece was put into the Children's Division custody due to neglect by her mother. Her niece Summer (age 10) was placed with her in foster care and Antoinette is pursing adoption for her niece as well.

Antoinette is working hard to complete her homestudy so she can become a licensed home and legally adopt all of them. Most of the free Holiday programs don't provide gifts for teens, only young kids so she is limited on assistance.

"She is an amazing woman, hard worker, resourceful and able to take on much more than I could ever imagine"- from her social worker"
